    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to magnetically influence the position, orientation, movement, and/or activation of a medical device within an operating region within the body using a magnetic guidance system introduced into a target location of a body. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to magnetic navigation systems for applying a magnetic field to an operating region within the body, the system comprising a first magnet assembly configured for introduction into a target location of a body and a second magnet assembly disposed opposite the first magnet assembly, wherein the first and second magnet assemblies are configured for applying a magnetic field to an operating region between the magnet assemblies.

    Abstract: An injection catheter (300) for the improvement of intramyocardial conduction delay, the catheter comprising: a catheter body; a tip section (312) comprising a needle passage; a needle control handle (308); an injection needle (314) which is longitudinally slidable so that the distal end of the injection needle extends beyond the distal end of the tip section upon suitable manipulation of the needle control handle; and a needle stop disposed on a portion of the injection needle, wherein the needle stop has a distal end that is sized to prevent passage of the portion of the injection needle on which the needle stop is mounted from passing into the distal region of the needle passage thereby limiting a distance that the injection needle is capable of extending beyond the distal end of the tip section.

    Abstract: A method for navigating a probe to a location within a body of a patient, the method comprising visualizing a three-dimensional image of a region of a body of a patient; receiving a selection of a target location within said three-dimensional image of a region of a patient's body; determining and visualizing a preferred pathway for the probe to follow from an external entry point on the patient's body to the target location; visualizing the preferred pathway for the probe simultaneously with an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time such that the simultaneous visualizations enables a user to align the current actual position of the probe with the preferred pathway; and updating and visualizing an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time as the probe is advanced to the target location.
